Shares of AECOM (ACM.N) declined sharply today, hitting a 20-day low as the stock fell 8.6% following the release of its fourth-quarter earnings.

Analysts have adjusted their price targets downward, reflecting concerns over the strategic review of its Construction Management business and the mixed performance in its Advisory segment, which is crucial for future growth.
